Out of curiosity... what's everyone thinking they'll league start in 3.25?

I feel like i don't want to be bothered with weapon prices/phys weapon crafting this league. Maybe i reroll a melee but i think imma gonna try out that hairy ball lightning of orbiting archmage with no pantz on for starters....

Melee changes are bait, the same caster builds as usual.

Flicker Strike Slayer

I have switched my PoB focus now, and aiming for a 65/65 block, 100% spell suppressed charge-stacking Slayer. Skill? I don't know yet.

Thinking Ice Crash. Ice Crash Jugg was the build I chose when I came back to the game after a ling hiatus basically forcing me to relearn it. Same situation now, and supposedly slams are good again. Not sure if I'll go Jugg, or try something different. Open to suggestions lol

I will do Wild Strike Champion 100% lightning 30.000 evasion/armor, enemy cannot block/evade my attack with new buff its 2.500.000 with bad gear so enough damage to clear atlas and since i don't care about boss fight that enough damage for me.

Probably I'll start with bow warden (LA or Burning Arrow) which will transition into Tornado Shot after I get a decent bow. TS looks great for the left side of warden ascendancy.

I will be starting with Poisonous Concoction Slayer. Ultimately needs Ralakesh and with everyone stacking endurance I might need to actually find it as it might get uber expensive.

Also with recreate my Holy Relc build but will be much tankier.

Not super interested in melee even if this is the melee build.

Self replying sorry. Also toying with an Explosive Concoction Wardem build as I think that could be really viable.

Part of me really wants to get home out of the office, update Path of Bonking, and see if an Elemental Hit of the Spectrum Warden can be done on a normal-person reasonable budget. Hecc, might even see if it can be Quill Rain'd, though I severely doubt it. Would be hellaciously fun if I could get respectable DPS out of it though, especially a Barrage Support version. Hold down the button for SUPPRESSING FIAH!

But when that inevitably fails because nothing fun is ever viable, eyeballing an Animate Weapon of Self Reflection Necromancer or possibly Frost Blades Deadeye. Touch of Anguish and White Wind are both generally dirt cheap and can do enough damage, especially given the hefty crit boost both base weapon types got and the obvious superbuff to the skill gem itself. Feels like Deadeye's 30% wall chain could also really help Frost Blades in single target i.e. its usual failing. At least, in arenas with walls. Heh.
